thanks for your support.

It works indeed with remmina. There seems to be a subtle difference wrt 
authentication: with remmina, I need to provide the credentials of a local 
admin account, while with krdc I only need to provide the VNC password (as set 
on the Mac). 

I'm not an export in vnc, but I suspect the following to be the case: I can 
either provide the credentials of an admin account in order to get access to 
the (existing) remote session.
Or, I can simply provide the VNC password to get access to the existing remote 
session.

With krdc, I can only provide the VNC password. With remmina, I can only 
provide the remote admin credentials.

In fact, I'm surprised that I can connect without providing the VNC password 
at all.

strace -e open /usrbin/krdc 2>&1 | grep vnc 
lists /usr/lib/kde4/krdc_vncplugin.so which is linked against libvncclient.

Cheers,
